Rexie was born in Bristol, Virginia on May, 11, 1936 and was the daughter of the late Trula Trivett and Ralph McDavid. She lived in many locations including Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, Alabama, Delaware, Spain (which was her favorite with many stories about!), New Hampshire and Florida. She was a jet setter and loved to travel frequently between Florida and New Hampshire enjoying the best of both worlds. Rexie loved to create and design costumes for the Dover Ballet Theatre Company, former Miss New Hampshire's, The Cheaters performance group and many more. She was a state chaperone and later state traveling companion to many Miss New Hampshire's within the Miss America Pageant. She loved all of her "girls" and the wonderful experiences they had. Rexie was a loving, selfless and compassionate mother that dedicated her life to her family. Her joys were traveling, spending time with her family and having fun!

In most recent years Facebook was one of her favorite hobbies and allowed her to connect with so many people and make new friends! We would hear every day about other people's lives and it was her way of staying connected to the outside world even when she couldn't leave the house at times. She was sassy, feisty and always a fighter and will be greatly missed by so many.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend calling hours from 5 - 7 PM for Rexie on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 with an immediate service following at the Rivet Funeral Home located at 425 Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, NH.
